OK - set 'realm' in backends.php back to an empty string (again, this is
using the smbldap configuration)

added to horde/config/hooks.php...

if (!function_exists('_passwd_hook_userdn')) {
function _passwd_hook_userdn($auth)
  {
return 'uid=' . $auth . ',ou=people,dc=example,dc=com';
  }
}

(uid=craig,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com is my user DN - notwithstanding
the substitution of example)

and logged in, changed my password and the same result...
userPassword was changed
sambaNTPassword was changed
sambaLMPassword was probably changed (I don't use this attribute)
but the screen gave the same error message as above (Insufficient
access)

so it works but it reports a failure and like before, if I click on
something like e-mail which requires login access, it fails and I have
to login with my changed password.

# cat conf.php
<?php
/* CONFIG START. DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING IN OR AFTER THIS LINE. */
// $Horde: passwd/config/conf.xml,v 1.12 2005/10/09 14:48:58 jan Exp $
